Nintendo says there’s a big advertising push for Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D in the UK, want “everyone” to know that DK is back

“Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is yet another huge release in 2013 for Nintendo 3DS. Retro Studios has done an incredible job of replicating the classic gameplay of previous Donkey Kong titles on Super Nintendo, whilst at the same time bringing them up to date and adding many new twists and turns.

“Donkey Kong titles have always been enjoyed by all ages for generations and we expect this one to be no different.”

– Nintendo UK product manager, Roger Langford

It’s interesting: Initially this sounds like regular old PR talk, but if you think about it, Donkey Kong isn’t really the character that’s in the forefront of people’s minds when it comes to Nintendo. Any kid who’s thinking about Donkey Kong probably has a reference point of something like Smash Bros. or (even less likely) Donkey Kong in arcades or on the Wii virtual console. Most people don’t know that the ape has starred in some of the best platformers of our time, and I think that’s definitely worth spreading the word about!
